How to use the Water Eject Tool

If your speaker sounds muffled after rain or a splash, it’s often tiny droplets trapped near the grille. This tool plays low-frequency patterns to help shake those droplets loose. It’s not magic, but it’s a safe first step before you try anything risky.

Quick steps

  1. Take off the case (water loves hiding in case corners).
  2. Set volume to about 70–80% (not max).
  3. Hold the phone with the speaker facing down.
  4. Tap START and let it run for 30–60 seconds.
  5. Wait 2–3 minutes, then test your speaker.
Which mode should I use?
  • Standard: start here for most cases (rain, light splash, quick clean-water dip).
  • Heavy Duty: if Standard didn’t improve things after 1 run and the phone got properly soaked.
  • Sweep: when it’s “almost better” but still dull/crackly — changing tones can help stubborn droplets move.
Stop right away

If the sound becomes harsh or starts rattling, if you smell anything burnt, or if the phone begins glitching, stop immediately. Lower the volume, let the phone dry, and don’t try to “force it.” Avoid pins, heat, compressed air, and hard shaking — these can cause real damage.

If it wasn’t clean water

Saltwater and sugary drinks can leave residue behind the speaker grille. Sound may help a little, but residue often needs time — and sometimes professional service. If distortion is still there after several hours of drying, it’s worth getting the phone checked.

After water gets on your phone

Do these

Let it air-dry
Open air for hours/overnight helps more than most tricks.
Speaker facing down
Gravity helps. It’s boring, but it works.
Test again later
Re-check speaker and mic after a few hours.
Wait before charging
If it was very wet, don’t plug it in until it feels fully dry.

Don’t do these

No heat
Hair dryers/heaters can warp parts and damage mesh.
No sharp tools
Pins/paper clips can puncture mesh.
No compressed air
It can push liquid deeper.
No hard shaking
You can move water into other areas.

Check if the damage is still there

Quick tests for speaker + mic after water exposure.

Speaker Test
Check volume, clarity, and left/right balance.
Microphone Test
Check calls and recordings. Water can block mic holes too.

FAQ

How do I remove water from my phone speaker?

Hold your phone with the speaker facing down and run the tool for 30–60 seconds. Wait 2–3 minutes, then test.

Why does my phone speaker sound muffled after water?

Water can get trapped in the speaker mesh and block airflow, which makes audio quieter or distorted until it comes out.

Does this always work?

No. It often helps for light/moderate water near the grille. It can’t fix internal corrosion, residue, or broken parts.

How many times should I run it?

Start with one run. If there’s some improvement, wait and try one more short run. If there’s no change, stop and let it dry.

Is it safe for iPhone and Android?

It’s sound-only and works in a browser, so it’s generally safe on iPhone/Android. Keep volume comfortable (not max).

What should I avoid?

Avoid heat, pins, compressed air, and hard shaking. Those can damage mesh or push liquid deeper.

What if it still sounds bad later?

Give it more drying time and test again. If distortion lasts after many hours (or after salt/sugary liquids), it may need cleaning/service.
